Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round - Amusement park ride in Los Angeles - 4730 Crystal Springs Dr, USA

I've seen this merry go round in movies & TV before. Also I have tried come a couple times, but this was the first time it was operating. It's pretty cool that this historcal item is still bringing joy to kids & kids at heart. My toddler got really excited when he heard and saw it. It definitely is worth the $2 for the ticket to ride. Everyone who rides needs a ticket so a parent/adult needs to ride with little kids. It was a decently long ride for the price. I was impressed with the craftsmanship and appreciate the people who keep it running.

What fun!! We walked around the abandoned zoo and then went to the carousel. Operating since 1936 (i think), this thing is old-timey beautiful. You can hear the music long before you can see it-and I don't know about now, but it used to play over 1500 tunes!! It was relaxing to just sit and watch it go round and round. $2 gets you a nice long ride!! Definitely recommend this place for kids AND adults.

Griffith Park has been a favorite place to visit and commune with nature for many, many years. I used to bring my children here when they were little to ride the ponies and the train. There is a wonderful playground and the Merry-Go-Round is fun and historic.

Being a fan of Disneyland, the opportunity to ride this historic carousel was just great. It was here, as the story goes, that Walt Disney had the inspiration to build Disneyland. While the paint has seen better days, it give it a feel of being historic. My family and I had fun, listening to the old organ play as we rode. This is a must do experience, at least once in a lifetime.

Nous avons été à 6h du matin, franchement c’est la bonne heure pour y aller personne ne vous dérangera pour les photos seul quelque sportif sont sur place. La vue sur Los Angeles étais pas top car trop de nuage mais on a pu voir Hollywood sign. Toute fois quelque bordure de ce lieu sont collante car trop de touriste

It's an administration building. For park staff. I find it hilarious its even available for review. That said, I do wish they would replace the vending machine that used to be here.

Easy breezy way to spend the day. Hike around some of the trails, check out the old zoo. Enjoy a picnic in the shady park. Carousel must be a landmark, it works but I don't think paint has ever been retouched, but I dig the old creepy vibe. Also has small snack bar and nearby restrooms.

I just parked by the merry-go-round which is closed right now. We went for an incredible hike. It was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so it was really uncrowded. I loved all of the different trail options and the views were spectacular!
